Mouse Reviews

I just purchased the Kensington 4-Button Expert Mouse USB/PS2 Trackball. I have to admit that I have used this same mouse at work for several years and have found it very easy to use. I was having some discomfort when using my previous mouse, but the Expert Mouse is very comfortable to use. The programable buttons allow me to set up the buttons to fit my small hands.

The Mouseworks Software is simple to install and use. I plan on trying some features other than basic click and double click.

The Expert Mouse that I had at work was extremely reliable, and I anticipate that this one will be too. Thanks to receiving a cash gift for my retirement, I am able to finally have a mouse at home that I can use for an extended period of computer use without a lot of discomfort.

This was my first order from Amazon.com and I am completely satisfied. The package came more quickly that I had anticipated. It was great to be able to use my new Expert Mouse to access the Internet and to write this review. Thanks you,

I bought this mouse for my wife for Christmas and she absolutly loves it. I love the scrolling feature so that when you're browsing the web you can use the wheel to scroll down webpages. Very good feature. It's also USB so that's cool.

What's in the box:
Wireless mouse (3.4"L X 2.7"W X 1.3"H)
Wireless non-swivel receiver (2.7"L X 0.7"W X 0.6"H)
Small travel bag
(2) AA batteries
Owner's manual

I use the Kensington Mini Wireless PocketMouse 72214 with my Compaq notebook using WinXP, and so far it's worked exactly as advertised. The mouse is about 1.5 times the size of a large hen's egg, but works just as well as my other full-sized Microsoft wireless mouse. Although it's tiny, it isn't difficult to operate. The two finger buttons and scroll wheel are not too cramped and don't cause me any functional problems. The response of the cursor is very accurate with good tracking of the mouse movement. The wireless receiver attaches to any USB port and is strong enough to provide a good steady signal to my mouse. (For me, the separation distance is about 22 inches). I am right handed and the Compaq USB port is on the right side rear, so I may be receiving a shorter and stronger signal than other folks that have a USB port opposite their mouse hand.

My only gripe was during the initial installation of the mouse batteries. To remove the battery cover required more force than I was comfortable with applying. I was afraid I was going to crack the cover. However, the cover finally flung off the base and I was able to insert the batteries without any damage done. I guess the good news is that I shouldn't have to worry about the tight cover slipping off while in use. BTW, both batteries are included.

Another nice feature about this mouse is the automatic standby mode for when the mouse hasn't been used for a couple minutes. This feature saves the batteries from depleting too quickly and will save a few dollars on future battery expenses. Overall, I'm very happy with this product.

I've been using a Keytronic keyboard for about 4 years before I decided to get a new one to replace it, and naturally this choice came to mind.

While Keytronic boards do not look very fancyful and "ergonomic", use one and you'll very soon feel the difference. These boards are truly built to last, and unlike many new keyboards out there from Logitech or Microsoft, it is extremely quiet on use. The spring loading of the keys, are also not too light, and provides a firm resistance.

This board is great, I would recommend it to anyone.

ok, first off, HATS OFF TO AMAZON AND THE SERVICE RECEIVED!
Placed my order Jan 5th, and rec'd item Jan 8th. (ETA, Jan 15th)

Basically, I was in the market for an inexpensive wireless mouse and keyboard combo, and spent 5 days extensively researching on line with numerous stores and seeking out numerous reviews. I thought I had my choice narrowed down but then realized it was NOT an optical mouse. I then came across this one, although I could not find one review (either good or bad) it basically had all the features: removeable hand rest, very conservative looking and an optical mouse! NOT to mention the price, relatively inexpensive. I am EXTEMELY happy to report that I have had this combo set for 20 days and utilize them daily, not to mention the same batteries that came with them are still alive and ticking, I have not had to replace them.

The only problem I seemed to encounter was during the initial setup (user error - lol) I couldn't synchronize the ID connections for the mouse, I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH TO CAREFULLY FOLLOW STEP 5 OF THE INSTRUCTIONS!!

If your are looking for a way to rid yourself of the wires involved and typically utilize the mouse keyboard for email, eBay, surfing the internet .......... etc ......... then by all means go for it! Unfortunetly, we have not tried any of the games with these yet, so I cannot speak intelligently on that subject - sorry.

All I know, is I am EXTREMELY pleased with my purchase!! Also I am actually typing this review from 5ft from the receiver as If I moved back any farther I could not see what I am typing anymore, both the mouse and keyboard are responding accurately, my eyes are not - lol

Hope this helps!

I bought this mouse for my 3 1/2 year old son and it's great. I love that it comes with a USB adapter so I can just plug it into the USB port on my keyboard. There's no software to install and you don't have to disconnect your regular mouse in order to use this mouse. My son loves it and it is so easy for him to use. I only paid $...

i know, you are thinking 'that thing is so cheap...you get what you pay for.' honestly, with a mouse and keyboard you can't expect much difference in an expensive set and a cheap set. this keyboard and mouse perform your basic functions while looking stylish. if you aren't concerned with wireless or optical abilities, or just can't afford anything better, this set is for you. buy this product; you'll be pleasantly surprised!

If you're looking for a plain, simple mouse with precision, no fancy buttons or scrolling wheels, this is the mouse for you! I started using this mouse when it was sold as the Logitech MouseMan. When Logitech redesigned their MouseMan, I was terribly disappointed in the new design. A year or so later, I noticed they put the old style back on the market as the Wingman. It's a great precision mouse that fits perfectly in my hand. Thanks, Logitech, for bringing it back!

The cord management function on this mouse has got to be the best of its features. You can wind the cord around the base of the mouse, and the USB plug clicks into position on the underside, protecting the optical sensor. I'm using the mouse with Mac OS10.3 on an iBook, and both the right-click button and scroller work exactly as they should. There's no thumb-click button, but frankly, that's not the most useful feature anyway on a notebook-sized mouse. There's nowhere comfortable to put the button on a mouse this small, and it would end up being more in the way than anything else, as I have found on other models.

This mouse is also visually pleasing - a sort of greyish-silver metallic color on the top surface where your palm rests, with a tasteful greyish-blue imprint of the Logitech logo, and black all around the sides. If you haven't used a notebook-sized mouse before, the size takes some getting used to, but the particular rounded design of this mouse makes it a comfortable fit in the palm. Also - I ordered this mouse on a Friday afternoon with supersaver shipping, and I received it by the following Monday afternoon! Great value for the price all around.

Although I haven't used the keyboard extensively, I know the key response is nice and crisp. It's definitely better than those lousy, spongy "QuietKey" keyboards that gave my carpal tunnels pain!

But the mouse is the thing, wherein we'll capture the conscience of the southpaw! Being a lefty, and one who used a right-handed optical mouse when they first came out, switching to the Logitech hand-neutral design of this mouse was a dream come true! It fits in either hand perfectly, with very comfortable contours for your thumb. Personally, I appreciate the sparse design - I don't need all those buttons all over the side of the mouse that I end up accidentally pressing. This is a basic two button mouse with an excellent scroll wheel. The optical tracking is very good on a bland mono-color mousepad.

If you're a lefty looking for wireless freedom and a simple, elegant mouse, look no further.

Now if they would just offer this EXACT package in BLUETOOTH!!!!!!!
